I do have available dates so let me know when you want to earn this great set by having some friends over for a fun time!!

 

I want to welcome Heidi Wilson back to Stampin' Up! She is looking forward to scrapbooking with our quality products. I am hoping you will get to meet her at classes or events soon!

The Big Shot promotion continues through Sunday. You can order your Big Shot from my online store once you add the item number for the Big Shot which is 113439 you can add any of the 5 exclusive bundles for FREE! (value up to $54.25!) This is a great deal and a super time to get your Big Shot if you don't already have one! If you do already have the BEST crafting tool ever then you can order one of the exclusive bundles for a 15% savings over buying the stamp set and framelits separately! These bundles are NOT in either current catalog (annual or Holiday) so get them now!

Be sure to like me on facebook at Stampin' with Leslie. I added several new events to my calendar yesterday that you will want to attend!

I was playing around with a technique called sunburst yesterday, thanks for reminding me Dawn Griffith! Here is the card I came up with.

It uses the new stamp set For All Things on page 41 of the Holiday Catalog. I also used the coordinating Designer Series Paper Color Me Autumn. Book a workshop and I will show you how to do this great technique!

 

I do thank you for stopping by! I hope you have a happy day!

Fun Friday!!

It is Friday again so that means more fun in the screen house! I have several projects ready for today. So as long as the gray doesn't turn into heavy rain we are good to go! A few sprinkles are no problem so be sure to stop by!

This is one of the cards for today. There are other greetings in this set if you don't need a birthday card right now. This uses one of my all time favorite sets, Lovely As A Tree. Hoping it never retires as it is so versatile!

Sure hope to see you later...3-6 is fun time at my house!

Fun Halloween Wreath

Isn't this a cute wreath. I know it is early to be thinking about Halloween and I was irritated when I went to a craft store (you know the one I mean) in Keene and saw the Halloween stuff already being displayed...but in order to plan a class order the kits to have them here and so forth I have to find out now how many want to come to a class at my house and do this fun project. So are you in?

A Frightfully Fun Night Out at my house!
Wednesday, October 1st, 6:30pm
Enjoy a spooky good time and leave with a Halloween Wreath ready for display!
An evening no ghost or goblin will want to miss!
E-mail me now at lpstamp@gmail.com or be forever haunted!

For now I just need to know if there is enough interest. The class would cost $30. If that day doesn't work for you then we can figure out a night and do it at your house and you get the hostess benefits!!!

I have seen some ways to create it slightly differently so that there are some left over parts to use for other projects.

The next class I am doing is the Watercolor Class on Sunday, September 28th at the Hinsdale Millstream Community Center.

These are the samples. We will explore several watercolor tools and techniques at the class. We will have the opportunity to try the Blendabilities markers as well.







Enjoy your Monday and be sure to register for the Watercolor Class if you haven't done so already. Also let me know if you have interest in the Halloween Wreath Class, I would hate to haunt you forever!
